This hearty lentil soup will warm you up this winter. Serve it with the cheesy croutes to make it even more special.
- Heat oil in a large, heavy-based pan. Add carrot, celery, onion, chilli, pancetta and garlic. Cook over very low heat for 5-6 minutes until everything has softened.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, lentils, rosemary and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes until soup has thickened and lentils are soft. Preheat oven to 180°C.
- To make croutes, brush bread with oil and place on a baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes. Rub one side of each slice with garlic, sprinkle with parmesan and bake for 5 minutes. Stir parsley into soup and serve with croutes.
